Why Recycle Insulated Wire?

There are several reasons you should recycle your insulated copper wire rather than sending it to the landfill:

Recover Valuable Copper

Copper is a limited resource, making it extremely valuable on the market. Insulated wire contains high-purity copper that can be reclaimed and recycled into new products. Recycling helps conserve natural resources and makes purchasing future products from recycled copper more affordable.

Reduce Waste

Copper wire makes up a significant portion of the solid waste stream. Currently, in Texas, insulated wire is worth more than a dollar per pound. Recycling at our Dallas scrap metal facility reduces landfill contributions and ensures that this valuable resource doesn’t end up going to waste.

Protect the Environment

The materials and oils in insulated wire can contaminate soil and groundwater if disposed of improperly. Recycling is a cleaner option.

While it’s not illegal to discard your old electronics, it’s definitely an act that can lead to the spread of toxins and carcinogens like carbon monoxide and sulphur dioxide that reside within the plastic casings around the copper itself.

Our Insulated Wire Recycling Process

Our state-of-the-art facility and equipment allow us to recycle your copper wire and return maximum value efficiently. Here is an overview of our insulated wire recycling process:

Initial inspection

Our team inspects incoming materials to plan for processing. We can recycle most types of power cables, audio cables, CATV cables, and industrial control cables.

Wire Stripping

There’s no illegal wire burning here. At Action Metals, we utilize mechanical stripping and separation technology to safely remove insulation and exterior sheathing from the wire efficiently.

Copper Recovery

The copper conductor undergoes filtration and cleaning processes to remove remaining particulates. It is then sorted, graded, and weighed before we pay you the best price in Dallas and start the official recycling process.
